Times-Union reports, “For starters, make sure to use a trustworthy tax preparer, one that was willing to sign their name on the tax return and provide their Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN). Avoid tax preparers who charge a fee based on your refund amount or who promise they can get you a larger refund than anyone else. Don’t sign off on a blank tax return that has not been filled out, and make sure refund money is always directly deposited into your bank account — the IRS and Treasury have phased out of issuing paper checks. Lastly, ignore social media influencers who encourage you to falsify your tax returns.”
